Hey Dominic, Great questions. We don't have a bidding system. Right now, we allow all retailers to respond provided they are willing to match the Amazon Prime price of the item. The network effect is significant - we have found great interest on both the retailer and consumer sides in areas where we have received a lot of attention.

Interesting idea -- I always try to support independent bookstores but sometimes the instant gratification isn't worth the 30% premium they charge over Amazon & BN. I'd be interested to hear how you deal with this issue; does local SMB just eat the cost and call the sale a loss leader or do they make up the difference somehow?

@mchosid - what are your network effects here? How are you garnering businesses? Is it a bidding system or do you work with a few select partners for the coupons? Love local ideas!
